2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: skip over transport-specific heads automaticallyChuck Lever
Add a generic mechanism for skipping over transport-specific headers when constructing an RPC request. This removes another "xprt->stream" dependency. Test-plan: Write-intensive workload on a single mount point (try both UDP and TCP). Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate TCP and UDP write space callbacksChuck Lever
Split the socket write space callback function into a TCP version and UDP version, eliminating one dependence on the "xprt->stream" variable. Keep the common pieces of this path in xprt.c so other transports can use it too. Test-plan: Write-intensive workload on a single mount point.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: client-side transport switch cleanupChuck Lever
Clean-up: change some comments to reflect the realities of the new RPC transport switch mechanism. Get rid of unused xprt_receive() prototype. Also, organize function prototypes in xprt.h by usage and scope. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: Add helper for waking tasks pending on a transportChuck Lever
Clean-up: remove only reference to xprt->pending from the socket transport implementation. This makes a cleaner interface for other transport implementations as well.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: rename the sockstate fieldChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: transport switch function namingChuck Lever
Introduce block header comments and a function naming convention to the socket transport implementation. Provide a debug setting for transports that is separate from RPCDBG_XPRT.

2005-09-22[NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oopsHarald Welte
This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same function: Bug #1: The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX oops and deadlock reports. Bug #2: We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race with another CPU. Bug #3: ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh (and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting "ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

2005-09-22[PATCH] reboot: comment and factor the main reboot functionsEric W. Biederman
In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions.

2005-09-13[PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API supportMauro Carvalho Chehab
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API VBI = Vertical Blank Interval. It is related with the way TV signals work. It sends a line, then, it has a retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next line. This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV. There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI. So, lots of TV systems use it to send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext. Also, broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content producer to their subsidiaries at each city. There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and Teletext. The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for analog TV signals, non encoded. Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e. 4x3, widescreen...). Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this kind of information.

2005-09-13[PATCH] set_current_state() commentaryAndrew Morton
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state(). Quoth Linus: The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all. The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other thing afterwards, ie if you have set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (still_need_to_sleep()) schedule(); then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events, and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since the wakeup may have happened on another CPU). So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local, and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_ state, not about somebody elses state.

2005-09-12[NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROMRalf Baechle
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being reset. An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in crashes of BPQ systems. An alternative approach of introducing a new transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter. Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl (net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.
